Applications
The FloBoss 104 is the ideal
measurement solution for many natural gas applications. These include,
but are not limited to:
- Well Injection (pressure)
- Tubing and Casing Pressure
- Custody Transfer
- Compressor Fuel Gas
- Farm Tap
- Industrial Usage
- Commercial Usage
API / AGA Compliant Flow Measurement
The FloBoss 104 calculates gas flow in
accordance with AGA7 turbine flow calculations, using AGA8
compressibility methods. Pulse counts and pressure measurement come
from the Sensor Assembly, and gas temperature is acquired through an
external RTD probe.
The FloBoss 104 maintains API Chapter
21.1 compliant historical archives for measured and calculated values,
as well as events and alarms. Up to 35 standard history points can be
archived on an hourly and daily basis for up to 35 days. An extended
history database supports data logging at intervals from 1 to 60
minutes, giving operators added flexibility to meet the requirements
of advanced applications.
Local or Host Operation
The FloBoss 104 is configured and
operated on-site using our Windows® based ROCLINKTM
800 Configuration Software. The FloBoss 104 can also be configured and
operated from a computer running popular host software packages from
Cygnet, Intellution, Standard Automation, US Data, and Wonderware
among others. Modbus and native ROC protocols are supported.
More Communication Choices
The FloBoss 104 offers a built-in
EIA485 port and an optional EIA-232 port or dial-up modem port for
host communications. An optional spread-spectrum radio interface
supports either FreeWave M-Series or MaxStream 9X Stream
spread-spectrum radios that fit entirely within the FloBoss 104
enclosure.
Expandable I/O
You can add six channels of I/O to the
FloBoss 104 to further increase its measurement and control
capabilities. Five of the channels are selectable by type and the
sixth channel is a discrete output. Parameters for each of the I/O
channels are software configured.
Built-in Control Capability
The FloBoss 104 can perform PID control
on one loop using one analog or two discrete outputs. A wide range of
control problems can be solved easily and quickly with outstanding
results. It can also perform logic and sequencing control by means of
Function Sequence Tables (FSTs).
Low Power Consumption
The FloBoss 104 features low power
consumption. It can operate for extended periods of time on just its
built-in rechargeable batteries. Either a 2- or 5-watt solar panel is
available to keep the batteries charged.
Rugged Construction
The explosion-proof, type 4 enclosure
has a Class I Div. 1 rating when properly installed. When the optional
solar panel mast is attached, the enclosure has a Class I Div. 2
rating. The optional two-line LCD display lets you view selected data
stored in the FloBoss 104. |
